Just Released from P&C: Seattle Pipe Club's Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged

[Casual]

18 bucks too expensive for a 2 oz. tin of quality tobacco??? That’s less than a dollar a bowl. A bottle of Bud Light costs more than that! Man, I’m glad I’m not a tobacco blender. I would feel insulted!

Well, manufacturers can feel how they like, but supply and demand sets prices.

I’m actually surprised that pipe tobacco prices are as close to each other as they are. I would have expected that the constantly sold out, constantly suggested, and constantly favourite blends would command a much higher price than they do. For example, how the secondary market prices them.

I‘m glad that Seattle Pipe Club’s success with Plum Pudding has enabled them to charge more. I want them to make lots of money on Plum Pudding so they ensure there’s always supply out there for me to buy.

I will wait for SP to get it.

SP has it $17.60 with 25 Tin Daily limit.

SP just got the Rum aged Mississippi River in. Still no PP BA though.

Yeah I go the email as well. Not sure of Rum barrel aged, but put one in my cart while I eyeball another Castello. Mississippi River Special Reserve is the baccy I like the most from SPC.

Yeah I nabbed two tins. I like PP better than MR, but the PP BA version was so good I had to try the MR one as well.

Someone that gets it.

$18 a 2oz tin.. anyone outside the U.S. would kill for that price.

18 bucks a tin. No thanks

I agree. $18 is too much.

Absolutely

You bet it is. That amounts to $144 per pound for an English Aromatic. You can still get a pound of ODF from Pipes and Cigars for less than $45 and most places sell Mac Baren's HH Blends for less than $65. $9/ounce is a definite no from me.

I agree but I think MR will get better with time. I don't see that with PP, I just see it getting softer (wow, tobacco imitates life lol)

Haha try working Prudhoe Bay, AK. Just make sure you wear your PPE and do an STA by the VSM's under PBOC, and your SPOC and GDP ACWR's better be in line, otherwise ASRC ESPP&C might get LCMF to do the work on your R&R.

That was pretty much my reaction when I first started working up there. The party chief would spit out directions at a thousand miles an hour and I'd have to be like....."Um..........what?"

 

[BROBS]

oilfield?

 

[alaskanpiper]

oilfield?

Yep. At the top of the world (Arctic coast of Alaska). Worked on a land and construction survey crew there from 2004-2012. Still work for the same company, but in the Anchorage office now.

The "bourbon barrel" thing is a marketing epidemic.

 

[3rdguy]

Great ready for Plum Pudding White Claw. You get a piece of the shipping crate in each tin.

Just had 4 bowls of Bourbon Barrel ....Nice aroma from opening the tin...That's it...Not a chewy smoke I would hope for (Frog Morton)...thin to behold and to the cellar it goes.

Sutliff was althways thin compared to McClelland. That's why McClelland was such a huge loss. Their tobaccos had dimension, depth, and character. Much of what's on the market now is lacking real depth.

 

[Dissident_Mantis]

I haven't gotten around to trying the original yet. I hated Mississippi River so much that I haven't given any of their other blends a try. Perhaps i'll check this one out.
